The Hub – Appropriate Provision
A Values-Led Pathway to Re-engagement, Resilience & Achievement
What is The Hub?
The Hub is our school’s in-house, values-led appropriate provision supporting students facing barriers to mainstream education. We offer a safe, nurturing, and high-impact environment where students can rebuild confidence, regulate behaviour, recover curriculum, and develop life skills — all while remaining connected to the school community.
